Chapter 225 Crocodile Leather Armor(1/2)
Chen Zhe wrapped his hands with banyan leaves and gently pinched the poisonous arrow frog with his hands. In this way, the small and exquisite poisonous arrow frog became a toy in Chen Zhe's hand.
After being pinched by Chen Zhe, the little blue frog struggled in panic, and his four short legs kept pedaling from the air.
The three girls saw a cold sweat, and Da Qiao said nervously: "Chen Zhe...you really won't be poisoned by the poisonous arrow frog's venom?"
"Of course not."
Chen Zhe said with a smile,
"I don't have any wounds on my hands, and even if I touch the poisonous dart frog's venom, it's not fatal. Moreover, the leaves of the banyan tree are enough to isolate this venom, so there is no problem.
At that time, the Indians used leaves to capture poisonous frogs. This was a test-proven method to catch poisonous frogs, so you can rest assured that they will be absolutely foolproof."
"So that's how it is..." Da Qiao felt relieved.
Yan'er and Xiao Qiao also patted their chests directly.
"I'm so scared, Brother Chen, you always like to play so exciting..." Yan'er said nervously.
Seeing this, netizens in the live broadcast room were also troubled by Chen Zhe's slutty operation, and the number of barrage was increasing:
"Chen Zhe is playing wild enough..."
"It turns out that he is very skilled and brave."
"I thought he was simply trying to die, but I didn't expect that he had mastered the method."
"It seems that in Chen Zhe's eyes, these venomous frogs are just pets."
"Chen Zhe is so brave. It would be better if I wish I could hide from the poisonous arrow frog."
“…”
Host Zhu Ranran also said very much: "Chen Zhe is really amazing. He dares to catch such a dangerous creature as a poisonous arrow frog with bare hands... By the way, Teacher Song, Chen Zhe said that Indians also used leaves to catch poisonous arrow frogs. Is this statement accurate?"
"Well..."
Ms. Song was caught off guard by Zhu Ranran.
Although she is a wildlife expert, it is not meant to be omniscient and omnipotent. Ms. Song is only limited to the knowledge in books when she understands the creature Poison Dart Frog. She has never studied how Indians captured this creature.
So she didn't know whether Chen Zhe's statement was right or wrong.
"Sorry, I'm only studying wild animals, not Indians. I can only say that I don't know much about the Indians' methods of catching poisonous dart frogs..."
Ms. Song answered truthfully.
"So that's the case." Zhu Ranran nodded and said, "But I believe Chen Zhe will not speak nonsense, and his behavior also proves that wrapping leaves with hands can really catch poisonous frogs...
What I am also very curious about is what Chen Zhe wants to catch the poisonous arrow frog? Should he follow the example of the Indians and use the poisonous arrow frog to temper his weapons?"
Just as Zhu Ranran raised this question, Da Qiao also raised the same question.
"Chen Zhe, why are you catching such frogs? Since this frog is so dangerous, wouldn't it be good to avoid them?"
Chen Zhe smiled and said patiently: "Mengyun, don't forget that we live in the rainforest now, and the rainforests in the rainy season are full of wild beasts that hide from floods. This land is very dangerous..."
"This is true." Da Qiao nodded slightly, "Mr. Clark said before that the beasts at the foot of the mountain will come to the rain forest on the mountain..."
"In front of these wild beasts, our combat power is actually very limited. There are dangers everywhere in the rainforest. If we are not careful, we may be hurt by these wild beasts."
Chen Zhe said,
"So we need to improve our survivability and our combat effectiveness. The toxins of the poisonous dart frog are a very powerful weapon. As long as we use them well, our strength will be greatly improved."
"So that's how it is."
After listening to Chen Zhe's analysis, Da Qiao and Yan'er suddenly realized it.
Chen Zhe really planned to follow the example of the Indians and use the toxins of this blue frog to temper weapons.
"But Chen Zhe, you must be careful when refining toxins. Don't poison other beasts before they can poison yourself first..." Xiao Qiao reminded cautiously.
"Don't worry, I won't make such a low-level mistake." Chen Zhe said with a smile.
...
The next two days were lucky sunny, and the sun was very bright around the tree house.
Chen Zhe used the sun and fire to dry the complete crocodile skin.
At the same time, his armor design has been completed - in fact, for such a simple crocodile skin, there is no need for too complicated design.
Just fold the crocodile skin in half, and the hard outer skin covers the person's chest and back at the same time, then sew one end into a crotch position, take out the one end of the neck position, and sew the two sides together, and then a one-piece crocodile leather armor will be done.
After simple tailoring, Chen Zhe began to work on stitching.
The process is not easy to sew the crocodile skin together with bone needles.
Because the crocodile skin is too hard, ordinary bone needles cannot penetrate at all. Sometimes Chen Zhe even needs to use a stone to nail the bone needle into the way of nailing the nails, so that he can chisel an eye for the tough crocodile skin...
After a whole day of hard sewing, a simple crocodile leather armor was finally made. Chen Zhe picked up the crocodile leather armor and took a simple look. The armor seemed to have a word on the top and bottom, that is - "ugly".
It is heavy and ugly, and no matter who wears it, it will definitely be stupid.
However, this armor is really strong, and the hard crocodile skin can withstand the claws and fangs of ordinary beasts.
Chen Zhe calmly put on this crocodile leather armor and showed a finished product in the tree house.
However, the girls all felt that the shape of this armor was really not satisfactory, and a very forced smile appeared on their faces.
"Brother Chen, this armor is a bit too bulky, right?" Yan'er commented tactfully.
"Yes, Chen Zhe, you look like a human-shaped crocodile wearing this dress..." Da Qiao also said with a smile.
"This armor is really ugly, Chen Zhe, I admit that you are pretty good-looking, but wearing this armor, no matter how handsome a person looks like a fool," Xiao Qiao said straightforwardly.
Facing the "bad comments" given by three companions, Chen Zhe was calm.
"Don't worry, this is just a semi-finished product. I need to process it again." Chen Zhe said.
"Machining? How to process?" Da Qiao asked curiously, "Do you need to modify the shape?"
"It's not only about shape, but also about functionality." Chen Zhe responded, "Although the armor is very strong now, its defense ability is limited. When encountering some powerful beasts, I still have no chance of winning. I have to strengthen its defense effect."
"That's it..." Da Qiao nodded.
Chen Zhe said again: "It can be seen that you are not particularly satisfied with the shape of this armor, so I will also make some improvements in the shape."
"Haha, our opinions are for reference only, you don't have to take them too seriously." Da Qiao said with a smile.
Yan'er also nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Chen, we are just talking about it. After all, the main purpose of this armor is to defend, not to look good."
"I understand."
Chen Zhe nodded.
...
After displaying the first stage of the crocodile leather armor, Chen Zhe immediately started the second processing.
Although the toughness of the crocodile skin itself can withstand the attack of wild beasts, it cannot counterattack.
The armor that Chen Zhe needs not only protects himself, but also hurts the other party, and even has the effect of "beating me, you hurt more".
Chen Zhe had actually had a plan for this.
What is useful to the crocodile is not only its hard leather armor, but also its sharp teeth.
The crocodile's teeth are extremely sharp and can easily tear open the skins of other beasts.
Chen Zhe first drilled holes and slots in the leather armor according to the size of the crocodile teeth, and then inlaid the crocodile teeth on the leather armor from the inside. Finally, he used the sap of the rubber tree to fix the crocodile teeth on the leather armor. In this way, a piece of thorn armor inlaid with the crocodile teeth will be prepared.
In addition to the hard crocodile skin, this leather armor is covered with sharp and white teeth. Once a beast tries to pounce on it to fight, the sharp teeth will pierce their skin.
And with these teeth decorations, this leather armor does not look as bare and ugly as before.
The sharp and huge crocodile teeth became the embellishment of this armor, which also made the armor full of extraordinary momentum.
Looking at the improved armor, Chen Zhe nodded with satisfaction: "It's getting more and more decent..."
But he did not stop improving it, because in his plan, there is another most important link - that is, the toxin of the poisonous dart frog.
I worked hard to capture poisonous dart frogs a few days ago to extract their toxins.
Chen Zhe carefully took out the toxins of the poisonous dart frog from his body and stored them in an exquisite pottery jar.
Now that all the crocodile teeth are embedded in the armor, Chen Zhe carefully dipped the poisonous dart frog toxin in the clay pot with a piece of animal skin, and then repeatedly applied the toxin to the crocodile teeth in the armor.
At first, the crocodile's teeth did not react, but after a long period of repeated operations, the blue toxin gradually penetrated into the crocodile's teeth, making the white teeth dyed a touch of blue.
Chen Zhe patiently repeated the simple operations on his hands, smearing the toxins of the poisonous dart frog again and again.
Just as the Indians used poisoned arrow frogs to poison their arrows, Chen Zhe also used this natural deadly drug to improve his thorn armor.
After almost a few hours of repeated repetition, the poisonous dart frog toxins in the clay pot were finally consumed.
The crocodile teeth on the armor have long been changed, with blue glowing up and down.
Seeing this, Chen Zhe finally nodded with satisfaction.
Such armor looks more grand and more secure, completely different from the bulky and monotonous crocodile leather armor before.
However, the armor at this time is not a finished product, because it still needs to go through the last process.
To be continued...
